"Did the sun sing a song as it colored the sky?"
~~Who Sang the First Song?

I Gave This Book 5 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

Why 5 Roars? Who Sang the First Song fascinates young readers with its exploration of 
inspiration and the origins of music. The poetic narrative and imaginative storytelling earn it five enthusiastic roars. 

It has a style that I really enjoyed, and kids are fascinated with the question the book is asking. Young readers might ask another hundred and one questions after you read it, be prepared!

Critical Analysis: This book is great for young readers that love music. The author's poetic prose and the illustrator’s vivid illustrations create a joyful mood, making it an engaging read for children. The narrative not only entertains but also subtly imparts valuable lessons about the beauty of creativity, self-expression, and answers the question for Christian readers, “Who sang the first song?”


Appeal: This book's appeal lies in its ability to easily blend storytelling with an exploration of music's origins. The language and beautiful illustrations really make it appropriate for a wide age range of ages, in my opinion. Parents, grandparents, and educators will appreciate its musical value and the positive messages it conveys.
